Steve Corkran, of the Contra Costa Times, reports Oakland Raiders C Vince Carter has been released from the team.

www.kffl.com

Here's some pre-draft info on him:

6'3" - 295lbs - Oklahoma - A finalist for the Dave Rimington Trophy, honoring the outstanding center in college football, and a First Team All-Big 12 selection in 2004...Posted 170 knockdown blocks as a senior and helped Oklahoma's offense average 462.1 ypg, including more than 200 rushing ypg...Earned All-American honors by cbssportsline.com and First Team All-Big 12 accolades in 2003 after helping the Sooners reach the first of two straight national title games...Has a ton of experience against top-flight competition...Tremendous athlete...Tough and durable...Has good technique...Can get downfield...Probably needs to add a little bulk, but a solid prospect nonetheless.

He was good in Oklahoma, seems to have alot of upside and one of his positives is that fundementally he was great. Negatives is that he is a bit small for the position and due to his frame probably couldn't get much bigger. I think Houck could do some really good stuff with this kid, but the same could probably said with just about any o-line guy! :eek:
 
lol

that was pretty constructive,
you just don't know it

no wonder this site crashed
 
hes over in nfle right now and im not knocking the guy for it but u dont see johnothan ogdne or any even medicre players over there in europe
 
thought this was interesting.

Vince Carter Grade: 3.27
Position: C
Class: Sr
School: Oklahoma
Conference: Big 12
Ht., Wt.: 6-2, 280
40 Time: 5.45

Grading System

BIO: Started the final nine games of the regular season during his freshman campaign and has played with the first unit ever since. All-Conference selection the past three years.

POSITIVES: Tough, interior blocker with limited size and growth potential. Explosive off the snap, jolts opponents at the point and a solid position blocker. Keeps his feet moving throughout the action, stays square and quickly gets his hands into opponents. Effectively uses blocking angles and plays with a nasty attitude.

NEGATIVES: Gets tall and does not block with leverage. Not dominant on the inside and pushed back into the pocket. Lacks balance, footwork, and has difficulty moving in any direction other than straight ahead. Had minor knee surgery performed in the offseason.

ANALYSIS: A hard-working blocker but limited athlete, Carter displays marginal playing strength and shows little in the way of creating running lanes in the middle of the field. Intelligent and uses all his assets to a maximum, but size limitations will hamper his efforts at the next level.

PROJECTION: Undrafted Free Agent

we need to keep Hadnot at center and get Fonoti to play guard for us

If Im thinking of the right guy, I thought I saw yesterday that Fonoti signed w/ somebody. Im thinking Raiders.
